The Mayor's Hotel is on indefinite hiatus, while I pursue other projects.

Today a really young voice called the shop and asked quite sincerely if
he could do our shop rides on a BMX bike...and then remarked that he'd
have to get up awfully early to make it as he lives in Staten Island.
The takeaway is, I think, that there are people out there looking for a
riding community! And we are just a small red piece of that puzzle.

Feels like I'm coming out of a long convalescence -- though it was Ilya who was sick all week, not I. This morning at 545, I'm perched
on the side of the bed, scrolling through Instagram.

Ilya: Don't look at your phone, it wakes you up.
Me: But it's TIME to wake up.

We rode, six of us -- for three of the people, it was the first time
over the GWB and up River Road. Initiates. Yes, it's a cult -- a secret --
if you know it, you can go on, you can keep living in NYC. The Ranger
Station - the top of my world these days, and brain hatching plans to
go further. Desire and intent, are all there, waiting on some final
push. It's 9 pm, we're home, we already been to Shake Shack where I
had two burgers. I've never been so happy to ride, to work a day with
Ilya, to get a power supper, and sit under a blanket pecking out a
status.
